Letter from GlobalPlatform’s Executive Director

Time is running out to register to attend this year’s seminar, ‘Security in our Connected World’. We have an outstanding speaker line-up of thought leaders from organizations driving security for digital services and devices. It promises to be a great day.

The seminar, which takes place in Beijing on Wednesday, 19 September, will explore real-world technical and business use cases that GlobalPlatform technologies address. The ballroom is filling up quickly though, so be sure to register soon to avoid disappointment.

Demand for our free technical workshop, taking place on Thursday, 20 September, has also been extremely high and all available seats have now been reserved. If you were intending to register for the workshop, please do so as a waiting list has been created and we will contact you should a seat become available.

In addition to our upcoming seminar, please note that we have also launched a new paper on ‘Chains of Trust,’ which demonstrates how to achieve security, privacy and integrity with GlobalPlatform secure components. The paper is available as a free download on the public website here.

See you soon in Beijing!

Watch: Webinar: Protecting Web Apps with Secure Components

Simplicity, convenience, security and privacy are key considerations for users of digital services. Service providers and device manufacturers therefore need to ensure that devices offer adequate security. As the deployment of web applications grows, so does the need to protect them with use cases like online authentication, digital signatures, credential provisioning and secure payments.

In response to this, GlobalPlatform has developed an interface to help developers improve the protection of web applications against attacks and fraud. The standardized interface, which can be implemented in browsers, gives applications access to secure components and secure operations. In this webinar, GlobalPlatform outlines the benefits that secure elements bring for the protection of web services and offer insight into deployment and adoption of the interface.

New Document Releases

This version of Amendment F adds a new variant for Secure Channel Protocol ’11’. It is named SCP11c and uses ephemeral keys only on the off-card side. It allows off-line creation of card management scripts. The usage of the same key pairs and certificates for groups of cards enables such scripts to be processed by the whole group. In addition, SCP11c adds a mechanism that allows a script to be transaction protected with a rollback occurring upon error.

It is available for download on the member and public website.
